• Sommario/riassunto: Leading experts examine and compare the changing role of political parties and their leadership in 14 modern democracies. It is shown how they are increasingly following a presidential logic of governance, through which leadership is becoming more central and more powerful, but also increasingly dependent on appeal to the mass public.
